This one will be a doubles tournament, for 16 teams (32 players)... And a very juicy one!

How to applyFreemius are wellcome, but need to keep 2 slots open In order to register, you need to state your team (you and your partner), your fruit (see below) and what is your home map.Individual players may register, but need to state their home map and fruit, or choose the home map and fruit that other individual players may have already chosen.

Groups stageThe 16 teams (fruits) will be divided in 4 groups as folows:

Classic FruitsApplePearPeachGrape

Vitamin COrangeKiwiLemonPineapple

Red FruitsStrawberryCherryRaspberryCranberry

Exotic FruitsMangoPassion FruitPapayaCoconut

There will be first a "fruit salad" 8 player game in each group, played in Age of Merchants map. The team which wins, will play all games home, the last to be eliminated plays two games home and the second to be eliminated plays one game home.

Suppose that in the Classic Fruits group, Apple wins the game, Pear is second and Peach is third, the games are then:

1st round:Pear @ AppleGrape @ Peach

2nd round:Grape @ ApplePeach @ Pear

3rd Round

Peach @AppleGrape @ Pear

A win means 1 point, the two teams with most points proceed to the next stage. In case of ties, the tiebreakers are:1st - Away wins (the teams are placed such that those with most away wins are on top of the others);2nd - Home defeats (the teams are placed such that those with less home defeats are on top of the others);3rd - Rounds to win (the teams which needed less rounds to win their games are on top of the others)4th - Rounds to lose (the teams which took most rounds to lose their games are on top of the others)5th - Tie-break game in Age of Merchants map.
